## What it is
Book Lib Connect is a free, open-source Windows application that downloads audiobooks directly from a user's Audible library and decrypts them into plain .m4b files. It uses browser-based sign-in to register a device without ever seeing user credentials, and can also export .aax files for use with AAX Audio Converter.

## Use cases
- download my audible audiobooks as drm-free m4b files
- decrypt aaxc audiobooks from audible
- back up my audible library locally
- convert audible books for use with aax audio converter
- bulk download audiobooks from my audible account
- remove drm from audible audiobooks

## When to choose
- you want a standalone GUI app on Windows to download and decrypt your Audible library
- you want DRM-free .m4b output without needing an activation code
- you want to feed downloads into AAX Audio Converter for further conversion

## When to avoid
- you need a macOS or Linux tool
- you want a command-line or scriptable solution
- you need a fully stable, long-term supported product, since it is a temporary/preview project whose features will merge into AAX Audio Converter
